An open source training program initiated by PingCAP: a set of courses on open source collaboration, Rust programming, distributed systems and distributed databases.What does a course here actually look like — videos, text, coding projects?It varies: each course is built by a different team, so the organization and outcomes differ. For example, TP 201 is a series of hands-on projects, while TP 202 is adapted from MIT 6.824 coursework.

Pick a course and follow its own documentation, e.g. TP 201 if you want the hands-on Rust track.

Each course team documents its own requirements in that course's docs.

TP 202, adapted from MIT 6.824, has you implement the Raft consensus algorithm and the Percolator distributed transaction protocol.
